Our Story

The Texas Association of Mariachi Educators (TAME) was founded with one vision: to unite, inspire, and empower mariachi educators and students across Texas. What began as a small network of passionate mariachi directors has grown into a statewide movement—creating opportunities for students to perform, compete, and celebrate their heritage while giving educators the support and resources they deserve. TAME is more than an organization. It’s a family, a voice for tradition, and a force driving mariachi education forward.
Together, we are making history.
